I mean, all these leagues ripped off SMACK though lol :yeshrug:
Literally every league rips off everything from Smack. Aren't they doing a tourney literally as a response to Smack Ultimate Madness? Even got a Twitch deal after URL got the deal with Caffeine.

:scust:KOTD

A league that created some complicated ass season/playoff format with cheap ass battlers in order to have content they can provide twitch every week.

Organik tunes into every URL with that salty look on his face. Do you think Smack watches a kotd twitch event? I hope smack gets on the next Caffeine stream and tells kotd to SMD.

And KOTD had the Grand Prix when SMACK URL wasn't doing any kind of tourney. And that was way before SMACK URL even got up with UFF. Years ago around when Drake hosted DNA vs. Dizaster. I know you know that.

A tournament isn’t an original idea. It’s more so the timing. They see the URL do a 25k tournament and then KOTD immediately does a tournament double that amount.

Yeah something they hadn't done in 8 years and then magically brought it back when URL did the Caffeine deal and UM tourney.

Aight, the Twitch deal, I get it because it was a reaction to the Caffeine deal. In this new era, that's true.

But you know good and damn well they kept doing the KOTD champ shyt anyway which was less organized than the Grand Prix. Hell, all them times nikkas roasted Head Ice for going over there? And they still had the GZ Grand Prix which went past the bigger one. Historically, I'm just saying what it is.

No no no, I get that part. In this new era, can't debate that. I'm talking about years before,
